As much as I would like to believe that I chose this profession, the profession really chose me; helping people manifest the changes they want to see is my passion. I work best with perfectionism, military spouses, imposter syndrome, anxiety, adjustment, and intermittent depression.
What does it take to be the hero of your own story? Difficulties don't have to be insurmountable barriers, but opportunities for growth. Learn from the more trying times, adapt to changes and persist despite the odds. Resilience shapes your character and sets a precedent for future challenges. It can be hard to adopt a proactive mindset when life is happening nonstop around you but I would like to build an authentic connection with you to explore making some positive and lasting changes.
My practice is eclectic in nature and is informed by many different modalities to include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, solutions-focused therapy, play therapy but always trauma-informed and person-centered. I will meet you where you are, and together, we will create a plan for your treatment that is evidenced-based and celebrates your personal triumphs.
I have experience working with all ages, from 3yo to end of life concerns. I have focused my career on crisis intervention and debriefing traumatic events so that extreme or critical incidents in life don't develop into psychiatric disorders that become debilitating in nature. Prevention, proactivity, collaboration and building or strengthening connections in a therapeutic environment can help you get you to where you want to be.
I value my relationship with my clients above all else. In fact, one of the most reliable predictors of the success of therapy is the strength of the relationship between the client and the therapist. I draw upon extensive expertise and knowledge, but most importantly, a deep respect and care for each client’s individual experience. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and 757 native. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Old Dominion University.

We all encounter difficulty in life; it’s inevitable. Nowadays, we have the knowledge to know it takes more than physical health, or good nutrition to be well. In order to have a fulfilling life, we must take care of all aspects of our lives. At times, all we need is to lean into our own resources to cope. Other times we need a neutral person to place adequate tools in our path to help us move forward and thrive.
I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Hampton, VA
Searching for therapists in Hampton starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists may work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or major life changes. If you are looking for therapy in Hampton, VA, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking. Some therapists may offer cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, while others focus on specific life stages, identities, or concerns.
Hampton is a smaller city within the larger Hampton Roads area, so local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a Virginia-licensed therapist. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether a therapist offers in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Therapist bios can help you understand communication style, session structure, and experience with areas like relationship counseling, marriage counseling, or individual therapy.
Therapy in Hampton can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready. You can browse therapists in Hampton, compare bios, and find someone who accepts your plan and is accepting new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
